Who Was Joey Himmelberg?

Father. Friend. Life of the party.

Joseph Alex Himmelberg had a love for good friends, good food & beer, and great tunes. A true Southern California native, Joey attended the University of San Diego and loved to spend his time at places like Sunset Cliffs and Mission Beach. He led an active life full of golf, running, and surfing.

But what Joey will always be most remembered for is his positive attitude and the way he could light up a room with his friendly smile and his loving spirit. Joey was full of life; the kind of person who would go out of his way to lift you up. There was no way to resist his jovial charm and his enthusiasm for life.

Joey’s view was always to be happy. To not let life drag you down. And while, at only forty-nine years old, Joey was taken from us much too soon, we aim to honor his spirit at Himmelberg’s Eatery & Bar with every customer we serve. So, join us as we raise a glass to good friends, great music and memories we’ll never forget. Here’s to Joey!
